I knew a young guy who was very much on the spectrum and part of the church youth group took musical score to read at a camp we took them to. You could just tell he was hearing the music he was reading, even humming and tapping out the beat.

My god. As a musician who really wishes someone had been interested enough in my talent as a kid to try to teach me how to actually do it, I envy those people so much.

I had people like Paul McCartney reassuring me, he and other musicians who couldn’t read music.

Now that I’m older, though, I really wish that I could just tune into it all. I’ve tried, but I just don’t fucking know where to start.

I come from a family full of musicians. My grandfather had one grandchild out of 17 grandkids who wasn’t a musician. He never played, but he was always singing and whistling.

None of us read music.

A lot of it has to do with the kind of music or instrument you play. If you're playing guitar in a rock band, a lot of guitarists can't read music. Hell a lot of guitar sheet music specifically has the tabs attached. If you're playing trumpet for a jazz band or orchestra though, you're pretty much required to read music.

Oh yeah I play everything. I was a kid with severe adhd, got kicked out of band rather than taught.

I mean, not the end of the world. Some girls liked my music and I was stuck in home economics where Sarah and Sue sat on either side of me and fondled me. God their names sound made up and typical. Looking back, what I was making was so cheesy, I don’t understand how anyone liked it.

As a 13 year old boy, I went from hell to heaven when I got kicked out of band.

I wasn’t heartbroken about it then haha. Sarah broke my heart when an older friend took me to see her and I ended up waiting around at the park while they hung out in a car without me. I probably dodged a bullet, but I cried myself to sleep that night.

I see her around town from time to time. I don’t think she even knows that she broke my heart. :p Doesn’t even have a clue. She thought I was as wild as she was. I guess that’s why it pays to be yourself. Tell that to a teenager though.

You're bad at masking that ADHD ;D (tone indicator friendly ribbing)

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I really am haha.

I’m glad I’m not in the public spilling my guts to strangers anymore. That is until the kids grow up or the wife gets sick of me and leaves me.

I’m sick of me.

Yesterday I got a sewing needle out and lost it, spent two hours panicking and looking for it. Found it where I looked 10 times.

I’m so exhausted.

You can train that, actually. Part of a higher education in music is learning solfege, which is the ability to recognize intervals and chords combined with the ability to be able to (somewhat) sing them.

One of my favorite youtube videos about music is one about solfege. I'll go and find it and edit it into this comment.

Edit: here it is. Honestly a real good watch, funny as hell while also informative, I really recommend it.
